Definitions

• This invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing aminothiazole compounds for inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), such as CDKl, CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6.
• CDKs cyclin-dependent kinases
• the invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and to methods of treating malignancies and other disorders by administering effective amounts of such compounds.
• Uncontrolled cell proliferation is the insignia of cancer.
• Cell proliferation in response to various stimuli is manifested by a deregulation of the cell division cycle, the process by which cells multiply and divide.
• Tumor cells typically have damage to the genes that directly or indirectly regulate progression through the cell division cycle.
• CDKs constitute a class of enzymes that play critical roles in regulating the transitions between different phases of the cell cycle, such as the progression from a quiescent stage in G] (the gap between mitosis and the onset of DNA replication for a new round of cell division) to S (the period of active DNA synthesis), or the progression from G 2 to M phase, in which active mitosis and cell-division occur.
• G quiescent stage in G
• S the period of active DNA synthesis
• CDK complexes are formed through association of a regulatory cyclin subunit (e.g., cyclin A, Bl, B2, Dl, D2, D3, and E) and a catalytic kinase subunit (e.g., cdc2 (CDKl), CDK2, CDK4, CDK5, and CDK6).
• a regulatory cyclin subunit e.g., cyclin A, Bl, B2, Dl, D2, D3, and E
• a catalytic kinase subunit e.g., cdc2 (CDKl), CDK2, CDK4, CDK5, and CDK6.
• the D cyclins are sensitive to extracellular growth signals and become activated in response to mitogens during the Gi phase of the cell cycle.
• CDK4/cyclin D plays an important role in cell cycle progression by phosphorylating, and thereby inactivating, the retinoblastoma protein (Rb). Hypophosphorylated Rb binds to a family of transcriptional regulators, but upon hyperphosphorylation of Rb by CDK4/cyclin D, these transcription factors are released to X activate genes whose products are responsible for S phase progression.
• Rb phosphorylation and inactivation by CDK4/cyclin D permit passage of the cell beyond the restriction point of the Gi phase, whereupon sensitivity to extracellular growth or inhibitory signals is lost and the cell is committed to cell division.
• CDK2/cyclin E can also regulate progression into S phase through a parallel pathway that is independent of Rb phosphorylation (see Lukas et al., "Cyclin E-induced S Phase Without Activation of the pRb/E2F Pathway," Genes and Dev., vol. 11 (1997), pp. 1479-1492).
• CDK4-specific inhibitors of the pl6 family frequently have deletions and mutations in familial melanoma, gliomas, leukemias, sarcomas, and pancreatic, non-small cell lung, and head and neck carcinomas (see Nobori et al, "Deletions of the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase-4 Inhibitor Gene in Multiple Human Cancers," Nature, vol. 368
• cyclin E has also been observed in a wide variety of solid tumors, and elevated cyclin E levels have been correlated with poor prognosis.
• the cellular levels of the CDK inhibitor p27 which acts as both a substrate and inhibitor of CDK2/cyclin E, are abnormally low in breast, colon, and prostate cancers, and the expression levels of p27 are inversely correlated with the stage of disease (see Loda et al, "Increased Proteasome-dependent Degradation of the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p27 in Aggressive Colorectal Carcinomas," Nature Medicine, vol. 3 (1997), pp. 231- 234).
• the p21 proteins also appear to transmit the p53 tumor-suppression signal to the CDKs; thus, the mutation of p53 in approximately 50% of all human cancers may indirectly result in deregulation of CDK activity.
• Flavopiridol displays modest selectivity for inhibition of CDKs over other kinases, but inhibits CDK4, CDK2, and CDKl equipotently, with IC 50 s in the 0.1-0.3 ⁇ M range.
• Flavopiridol is currently in Phase II clinical trials as an oncology chemotherapeutic (Sedlacek et al., "Flavopiridol (L86-8275; NSC 649890), A New Kinase Inhibitor for Tumor Therapy," Int. J. Oncol, vol. 9 (1996), pp. 1143-1168).
• Analogs of flavopiridol are the subject of other publications, for example, U.S. Patent No.
• CDK4 may serve as a general activator of cell division in most cells, and because complexes of
• CDK4/cyclin D and CDK2/cyclin E govern the early Gi phase of the cell cycle, there is a need for effective and specific inhibitors of CDK4 and/or CDK2 for treating one or more types of tumors.
